"Copper Hypotenuse" earrings

The shape of these fabulous earrings just reminded me of geometry! These shimmery copper right triangles were hand fabricated and hammered by me from copper sheet. They suspend from handcrafted copper loops that attach to handcrafted copper earwires. The loops and earwires are also hammered for matching texture and earwires are embellished with a 6 mm round bead of gorgeous teal Russian Amazonite. These beauties are light on your ears, and strikingly simple.

If you prefer brass earrings to copper and/or want different gemstone colors, contact me for a custom order at the same price.

These earrings have been treated with Renaissance wax to slow tarnishing. However, natural copper or brass will eventually tarnish to a burnished finish. This oxidized patina will also look nice, but you can restore the gleam by cleaning in white vinegar and slow the tarnishing by re-treating with a beeswax product and/or storing in a sealed plastic bag when not wearing.

Like all my jewelry, these earrings will be shipped in a lovely gift box of textured ivory recycled paper and will include a custom tag describing materials and handcrafted elements.
